Default Adjustable trackbar or bracket question?

I am installing the RC 2.5" coil w/ shocks lift next week. Can I just get the JKS front adjustable track bar and the rear adjustable track bar and just not get any brackets at all? In other words for the rear, can I get the trackbar instead of the bracket? Any pros/cons?

I would go with the adj track bar.

Ive got a set of full tractions for sale right now, but Id recommend putting zerks in them before install if you went with that brand.

Adjustable track bars only or stock track bars with brackets, not both.

I went with the JKS's front and rear.

With my 3" lift I run JKS adjustable trackbars on both front and rear.
Also have welded JKS brace on rear.

I am running the same set up you are looking and and love it. I didn't want to go with the brackets because of all the stress problems I have read about them. The adjustable track bars are more expensive, but better in the long run. Also if you decide to go with a higher lift in the future you don't have to worry about it then.
